I have entered a command into terminal but I can't get it to acknowledge. I know this is painfully simple but I can't find the proper way to enter and register a command. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

It would help if you could tell us what the command is. Or copy/paste the text from the terminal window into your message so we can see what's going on.
Some commands won't generate any sort of acknowledgement. If you're not familiar with Terminal already, then likely the reason you're dabbling with it now is that you are following a command you found on a website to do some kind of customization or hack, such as this one which changes the Dock style:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
You wouldn't see any apparent response to a command like that.

I'm trying to eliminate the favicons with this command defaults write.com.apple.Safari WebIconDatabaseEnabled -bool NO
Be sure to restart Safari after doing the command. Looks like you tried the command given in the comments at Mac OSX Hints. Unfortunately it had a typo. Try,
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebIconDatabaseEnabled -bool NOThanks bud, now it works. No more favicons. This is supposed to lead to a speed improvement. Have any idea how much or is it just one of those incremental deals? Thanks again.
BTW, I also entered the OpenDNS settings into the network IP connection and that really improved speed. Any other tips?
